I have 200 stuffed animals...

[ullyeus]

through a series of coincidences I have acquired (or will shortly) a couple of hundred stuffed animals (toys)...They are brand new...not corporate/branded...I am looking at trying to find a suitable charity/organization to donate them too and I am located in Edmonton at the moment.

Any thoughts? I was thinking a childrens hospital or maybe saving them until Christmas and giving them out in care packages?


edit: 8000 posts..not a bad one either to hit the mark on if I do say so...

[sxz]

Join the carnival and be a carnie.

[Magoo]

I think the Children's Hospital is your best bet! Saving them until Christmas is just a hassle, you'll have to store them somewhere.

[angekfire]

I'd also suggest the children's hospital or something like that.

[Wantoknow]

Can you give me some new ones, I love stuff animals...:razz:

[deltone]

I used to collect (and sell) TY Beanie Babies and when I ended up with a ton of extras, I donated them to my local hospital and they doled them out as needed.

[Dash]

I'm sorry, I'm still trying to figure out how someone can coincidentally come upon 200 stuffed animals......

you went to Chuck E. Cheese, and while playing skee-ball, Chuck came up behind you and touched you inappropriately. the 200 stuffed animals is your hush money. but the more you think about them, the dirtier you feel. However, if they could go to a good cause, it would relieve your demons, and help you move on, just like it did during the Disneyland incident. :cheesygri

anyways, I don't know what organizations they have in Edmonton. I'm sure they have a Ronald McDonald house there. unless of course....you had a bad experience at McDonald's.....

[Sprite09]

Hospital for sick children in Edmonton?

[Cospa]

Yeah, I'm sure the Stollery could put them to use

[pitz]

I have 10,000 girl's dance outfits, never worn, and 4000 pairs of girls dance shoes...

So we're kinda sitting in the same boat, lol...

HAHAHA i was going to ask the same question, how did OP get 200 stuffed animals?

I think Dash hit it right on the nose! :cheesygri

[MrBurns]

Donate to whoever gives you the largest donation amount receipt.

[deltone]

Donate to whoever gives you the largest donation amount receipt.

Naive question I suppose, but you mean to say that when you give a non-monetary donation you can get a tax receipt? I knew they did that in the US but hadn't realized they do in Canada. I have never been given a receipt for any of my non-monetary donations (nor have I asked for one). Sheesh

[Minh]

Donate to whoever gives you the largest donation amount receipt.

I don't think they give you a receipt for items with no face value. How are you going to justify 200 stuffed animals?

5 bucks a piece?

if that boat contains a bunch of grown males with child luring periphenalia...then yes, I suppose you guys are. but at least ullyeus is looking to give his to charity. who knows what you're planning on doing....

Would they have to call it Skeet-ball? SKEET SKEET SKEET!!!!

Give the majority to sick kids hospital.....give some to the childrens aid.
& maybe the police dept? they deal with lost kids & kids from abusive homes, so they usually have a few toys in thier trunk.

:cheesygri

[nyrz]

Fire station- they give stuffed animals to kids who have lost their homes in fire

Women's shelter

Those are great options. I think that the OP should spread the wealth.

[gh05t]

Yep I remember when both my nieces had a combined total of around 200 stuffed toys too.

They had a separate room bedroom for them with a daybed for them to sleep on etc.:lol:

My smaller niece mostly had dogs but she recently got a real dog for her birthday putting the brakes on the stuffed toy accumulation.

I too think a children's charity or any organization involved with kids charities is a good bet.

I think the better question for pitz is: why are there so many more outfits than shoes? :confused::confused::confused:

[toalan]

I would try to have sex with all 200 stuffed animals, 200 way > 3 way

[gordholio]

Maybe check 'em for lead before you give them to kids. :cheesygri

You bring new meaning to the term "stuffed animal"

[mrlooneytoon]

Yea you would.

[Mike_wang]

Only in rfd. *FACEPALM*

[dragon_drift]

I guess you have this much? LOL where are you going to find the room to fit them?

seriously? a grown man has a roomfull of girls dance outfits and shoes, and the first thing that bothers you is the math??? I guess you always make sure to have an equal number eh? :|

[JACKIE26]

Some children's hospitals will not accept donations of stuffed animals, because of infection control. Some only accept things that can be wiped and cleaned. So call and see if they will take them before you drag them all the way there.

Another place you could donate them to is a a shelter for abused women. They would really appreciate them for the kids. Or check with your local fire station they sometimes take that kind of stuff to comfort kids in accidents, house fires etc.

[gorf]

I just saw the ad on tv about Project Zebra. I'd give them a call, I've never heard of them before but they look like they need alot of stuff including teddy bears. I'm assuming your stuffies are new.

Seems awfully strange.

Unusual fetish anyone?

More like this guy has been dumped by over 200 girls. He's just "friend" material.

hey, if you can get some from 200 girls, still remain friends, AND get all the stuff you gave to them back, then you'd be my hero.

[alkaseltzer01]

PUt them across your car dashboard or the back window.

I didn't say I purchase them...? If it was a fetish as well..wouldn't I have plans for them already? sick sick plans.....

It never ceases to amaze me how some on RFD can turn something nice into something creepy. So the guy gets a bunch of stuffed toys. So what? He never said he bought them but let's say he did. Is it not a nice thing to buy all of those toys and even before he's got them in his possession he's looking for ideas on how to brighten someone's day by giving them a gift?

Even though he made it clear what his intentions are, some on here have to make innuendos and jokes about pedophilia. For one thing that's quite a stretch but more importantly, I do believe that to joke about child sexual abuse is VERY sick. Believe it or not, there are some things in this world that just are not funny on any level.

for the record, I made no jokes about him sexually abusing kids. I only said that he was groped by a beloved arcade mascot....and....if you've noticed, he hasn't denied it, which leads me to believe that I was right.

[angekfire]

I disagree. Anything and everything is fair game in comedy, and if executed properly, it could be hilarious.

well, everything needs a certain mourning period before joking about it. like, you couldn't joke about 911, the day after or something. that's just in poor taste.

[angekfire]

Really depends on your target audience. If the type of people you joke around like offensive humour, then you're set.

Also, the mourning period can be ignored if the joke is promptly followed by a "Too soon?"

Why do all the yellow bears with the short red halter tops in that picture above have "Poon" written on them?

Some fire departments and ambulance services carry a couple on their trucks for accident scenes , fires , etc . We do at our dept and makes a world of difference .

That's actually a great idea/thing to do - never thought of that.

Course it would mean the OP has to stake out a couple of fire/ambulance departments or one that doesn't mind keeping company with so many stuffed animals. :-0

[700mb80min]

One or two per truck is sufficient . We keep them in zippy bags for cleanliness . Not much to give to a family in distress , just a token for the kids that does calm them down when they need it . Flashing lights , sirens , and guys in gear ( especially wearing s.c.b.a `s ) are upsetting to adults never mind the children .

Yeah family owns a building, that housed a dance supply store. Dance supply store went bankrupt, leaving all of their inventory behind. Creditors really aren't interested in the stuff, so we're left to dispose of it..

Have any ideas on how to sell that sort of stuff? I'm all ears, PM me.

[UncleSteve]

If any of it is ballet-related, maybe a donation to the National Ballet School?

If you could establish a value to the stuff, it might net you a donation receipt.

reminds me of the puffy shirt episode of seinfeld. If they're adult size, you could give them to the homeless.

[angekfire]

I think "Girl's" implied children.

advertise them as "worn" or "mild usage" and the sicko's will trip over each other to pay a premium and buy this stuff.

[Dash]

I think "Girl's" implied children.

yea, and "I'll call you" implies that you should expect to hear from me again, but that's not always necessarily the case.

[Lone_Prodigy]

Then you call the police. Help society and make money. Perfect.

Let me clarify. It's not 200 girls involved in a steady relationship. It's really 200 random girls asked on a first date and promptly dumped by after the date. Likely they were all taken to the carnival and the animals were presents won by our less than heroic poster. I really wonder how much money he's dumped into the CNE.

While I somewhat agree with the latter half of your post, you have to realize that this is the internet you're preaching to...

[deltone]

I disagree. Anything and everything is fair game in comedy, and if executed properly, it could be hilarious.

Ya, tell that to a sexual abuse victim. I'm sure they find this sort of humour hilarious. There is nothing to stop people from making these sort of sicko cracks, but something tells me that they do it with the so-called safety of the anonymity of the web but most wouldn't be so quick to say such crap to others unless they only hang out with other sickos who find that sort of garbage funny.

Destroying innocent children's lives is never funny. I suppose you can find some humour in the mutilation of a sexually abused child, or perhaps in the death of Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French at the hands of Bernardo and Homolka? I can't imagine what could be found funny about those incidents.
